Eugene Finkel Joins Johns Hopkins SAIS as Associate Professor of International Relations
The Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) has appointed Dr. Eugene Finkel as an Associate Professor of International Relations.
“It is my pleasure to welcome Dr. Evgeny Finkel to the Johns Hopkins SAIS faculty,” said Dean Vali Nasr. “Dr. Finkel’s scholarly contributions to the study of political violence, genocide, East European and Israeli politics, and the study of the Holocaust sets him apart in his field and we look forward to expanding the school’s curriculum and research on these critical issues of global relevance and urgency,” said Nasr.
Finkel is the author of Ordinary Jews: Choice and Survival during the Holocaust (Princeton University Press, 2017), which analyzes how Soviet and Polish Jews chose their survival strategies under the Nazi occupation. His articles have appeared in the American Political Science Review, Comparative Political Studies, Comparative Politics, East European Politics and Societies, Slavic Review, Democratization, and several other journals and edited volumes.
Finkel’s research focuses on how institutions and individuals respond to extreme situations: violence, state collapse, and rapid change. He holds a PhD in Political Science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
